Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups organic gluten free oats
- 1/4 cup organic raw cocoa powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup organic coconut oil
- 1/2 cup organic maple syrup
- 1/2 cup organic peanut butter
Instructions
- Melt Wet Ingredients: Add the coconut oil, maple syrup, peanut butter, and cocoa powder to a saucepan and melt everything together over low heat. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine with Oats: Transfer the oats into a mixing bowl, then pour the melted mixture over them. Stir thoroughly until the oats are evenly coated with the chocolate peanut butter mixture.
- Form Cookies: Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them out as needed.
- Freeze to Set: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about an hour until the cookies are firm and completely set.
- Store Properly: Once firm, transfer the cookies to a container and store them in the refrigerator to keep them from becoming soft before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute maple syrup with honey if preferred.
- For a crunchier texture, use chunky peanut butter instead of smooth.
- If you want to make the cookies vegan, confirm the maple syrup is plant-based and use coconut oil.
- Store cookies in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain firmness.
- These cookies do not require baking, making them a quick and hassle-free treat.
